I can flow on them

This morning, I've received a Casio FX-9860G Slim! It probably has a keyboard very similar to the standard model, and I confirm it seems very good.

Both have proper typewriter layout and not alphabetically sorted keys which can only be accessed by pressing "Alpha" first - something I truly hate. The 71B provides the better tactile feedback, but the Voyage 200 has an even more typewriter-like layout with a large space key and two (!!! HP: beat that ;-) ) Enter keys and more unshifted functions, so I rate them equal at 9 out of 10.

This is the reason why a love the HP 200LX: it has not only a typewriter layout, but the keyboard is also available for different languages (French for me), a rather unique feature. But it's not exactly a calculator.

RPN is available for the Casio FX-9860G Slim: http://www.voidware.com/reckon/
But it is not programmable.
